OpenBSD uses an implementation of the Sun audio system, which is a
different system to OSS alltogether. I don't know where it came from,
it is probably not based upon any of sun's code due to licensing.

As for the M-audio Delta, not sure about that particular card, but I
have a M-audio mobile pre (usb), which works fine under OpenBSD. I'm
not sure if that's an indication that M-audio aim to support UNIX, or
just a coinsidence. Try dropping them an email?

In all fairness, you would be better off using a nice piece of kit
like that on Windows or MacOSX (/me ducks), because the audio editors
for NIX are slightly limited in comparison to say Cubase or Pro-tools.

Thanks
